Today I read
Idiosyncrasies of the HTML parser.
To be precise, I read the first two chapters and skimmed the third one.
What I understood is that the HTML parser of browsers is built to handle any type of
"writing style" plus, without ever throwing an error. In the style of:

It remembers me of an interview to Brendan Eich where he says that from the first draft
of JS the equality operator == was the strict equality one but then, people persuaded
him to make it loosely equal.
Were these decisions made to let people populate the web in the easiest way possible without
worrying about the programming barrier?
I can draw a parallel with the decision of YouTube to remove the dislike button at the cost
of lowering the quality of the content "to let people express fearlessly".
Translated: to populate YouTube.
