Here we have another strength of links over categories:
When you go looking for something specific, your chances of finding it are very bad. Because of all the things in the world, you're only looking for one of them. When you go looking for anything at all, your chances of finding it are very good. Because of all the things in the world, you're sure to find some of them. - Zero Effect
That is, often when I am looking for something (a movie to watch, design inspiration) I don't actually know what I'm looking for. So if I'm drilling down deeper into categories, if I made a mistake early on I may just be getting further and further from what I'm looking for. But if I'm following links they may take me on a tangent that leads somewhere with little connection to where I started, but it might just be exactly where I didn't know I wanted to be.
