Do site errors checked by the validator affect search engines?

Question

Google

Hello. I decided to check my site in the validator - https://validator.w3.org
I found errors.
Please tell me who knows if validation errors affect search engine optimization? Will Google or Yandex be the first to display sites that have fewer errors? In general, is there a priority for site validation in search engines?

Answer 1

Do you think in all other respects your sites are OK? :)
There are rumors that this is an extremely, extremely, extremely insignificant factor.

Answer 2

Well, if there are errors in the layout, such as ... and other incorrect tags, then of course it will affect. And if there are minor errors, such as unclosed img , input , then I think there will be nothing wrong.
