Do you keep everything in "downloads" or have file trees 100 folders deep?

Anything more than 5 dir deep is overly complex.

All movies are thrown into one folder called movies, every show is in its own folder with a season per folder. Jellyfin deals with that.
Music is stored by artist and thrown into the music folder.
Documents are sorted by year and purpose but are all in one folder called documents.
Books are in e-books, audiobooks are in audiobooks folders by author.
