Here's a question: Is there a point to collecting these points? I have no idea what this point system is about.
Don't worry about the points. If you find some aspect of improving the database enjoyable, do that and do it because you enjoy it.
The points can be used to 'gift' other users, like a wee flower emoji on a review or comment you especially like. I mostly use mine to say thanks when someone helps me find a way to watch a movie I'm keen on. It's no big deal, just a nice extra. It's nice to receive one.
They can also be used to 'give' flowers to actors if you're into that parasocial kind of thing.
I don't know how things work behind the scenes, but it seems likely that the points total helps approval staff know how much to trust a contributor.
