They leverage that misperception to sell useless 'certifications' - over 10k sold so far (at $99 each), they claim.

Yeah, I thought W3Schools was an endorsed site of the W3C for a long time -- like years.

The W3C have explicitly asked them to disavow any connection to them, multiple times. W3Schools have, obviously, refused.
