The plants crowd each other out, and you won't get maximum results from any of them.

If you are planting a small area and have the money to waste on planting seeds close together, then there is no harm. As the seeds sprout and begin to grow, just thin them by removing the weakest plants and allowing the strong to grow to maximum potential. Thinning will be necessary, or the whole mess will not reach potential.

It depends on what plant it is and if it's in a small pot or outside / large pot. Some plants are actually helped by double seeding them. It depends on if they are self pollinating or not and what form of pollination they will get as in bugs, strong wind etc..
It's a classic farmer trick to double or triple seed each hole and thin only if necessary. There's a lot of earth to go around and plants of the same variety often don't strangle each other.

They will not grow as strong and healthy. They need space between them or there will not be enough room for roots to grow , nor will there be enough nutrents in the soil to feed them.

Each plant will be stunted & you will end up really thinning them out after they are up.

U will need to pull some out to get a good spacing.
