Just one until my opponent's spinner or defogger is dead.

Depends.

In Random battles, almost never more than 1, until partway through the battle, and I've either killed their spinner/defogger, or determined they don't have one.

Otherwise, I prefer 1 layer of spikes, and either Stealth Rock or Toxic Spikes.

Too many layers of spikes gets too inflexible, most of the time, I find.

The situation matters but 1 is really all you need

you are like a little baby. watch this

I never understood this meme.

>single player

poor guy, limiting yourself to only half the movepool

In competitive Pokemon, switching is a really strong strategy.
Hazards like spikes and stealth rock do damage to opponents when they switch.
Since a lot of switching happens, the damage builds up a lot.
