I find they are useful in reducing the number of files in a directory, and
they are as good as anything at giving me a rough idea where to look for
stuff - I often remember roughly when I did or saw something.

They're not reliable as a way of knowing anything about whatever has the URI,
and they don't mean anything much after a while. But they still keep the
number of files in a directory down. And they are as memorable as anything
else.
