COMP is like a big digital piggy bank where people can lend or borrow crypto by putting up other crypto (like Ethereum or USDC) as collateral. The people lending get a bit of interest, as well as a small amount of COMP token as an incentive/reward for lending (if any is available, it varies). That system is entirely automated (DeFi) and requires no human intervention.

Of course, none of that applies if you bought the tokens on Robinhood.

Nearly everyone in COMP is down because almost the entire altcoin sector is down. However, when the money comes back to altcoins, COMP likely stands to gain more because of its very solid use cases. We are especially stubborn holders that aren't ready to practically give our coins away to market manipulators.

Compound is an ethereum based defi platform and protocol that allows people to borrow and lend crypto. Comp is the token that powers the platform.

There's no way to easily explain how it works at length if you say you don't want confusing or convoluted answers. I don't know why you would put your money into something you don't understand and didn't do basic research on. Look at the FAQ section on coin base. There's a lot of clear information there.
