To an extent, I agree. For me, if I was out of control, I'd label every single movie, short and episode file with release date and category.
Instead, I just have a folder for movies, a folder for each TV series and a folder for each producer/distributor of golden age animated shorts, that's good enough for me.
Oh and focusing on the media that is actually good and/or at least in my wheelhouse of interest helps in ensuring there's some space left on my 22TB hard drive, instead of downloading everything just because.
