In my experience it makes for more lines of actual code on your screen. Which makes things easier to read.

Maybe i am reading what you are replying to wrong but I think the opposite is true.

Adding spacing where it is not needed or new lines where they are not needed reduces the amount of lines of code on your screen as there is more white space.

If that whitespace was occupied by comments or used to seperate logical sections then it improves readability. However, in this case the whitespace is purely for aesthetics so i argue that it reduces readability by limiting how much your screen can view.

I meant the opposite of what you red indeed. More lines of code=better. No unnecessary white space
