How are these massive figures calculated?

Behind these enormous metrics lie countless hours of voluntary community work. But exactly how does Google reward these efforts? How many points does an uploaded video yield compared to a detailed text review? And what is the actual difference between a standard "Edit" and "Fact-checking"?
