I understand how the histogram works to a degree, from left to right. I don't understand how it works vertically though. Is it bad when the histogram tops out like in the screenshot?

What does it mean?

The vertical axis is numbers of pixels. Where the graph is high it only means that a lot of pixels have that brightness value. It is not something to be concerned about.
