This makes me wonder how the Steemit reputation works. I just joined steemit a couple days ago and the inner workings confuse me. how do you lose rep? How do you gain it?

Without making the explanation too technical, if you make quality comments and posts and other users with higher reputation than your own upvote your comment or post it goes up and you get money.
On the other hand if you make spammy comments, or beg please vote me, other users might get annoyed and upset and flag your comment, taking all the possible reward you might have had and lowering your reputation in the platform.
It might be easy to imagine how a low reputation user might have a negative stigma attached to him. So if that user makes a post somewhere else, people might be hesitant to vote him positively... thus prolonging the negative events.
Long story short... you want to make some money... don't spam, don't make short silly comments that have nothing to do with the post.
thanks for the answer.
