I personally think that having both is the safest way for better performance, especially if the site architecture is not easy to browse for the spider.

Where can I submit a HTML version of my sitemap? just like we can submit XML sitemap on Google Search Console.

Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead. (I am getting this error) please help.

Follow up question: I have over 100, 000 pages on one of my sites. How many internal links should be on a single page? Does formatting mater for html?
Thank you

People pointing guns at webmasters' heads and forcing them to pick between HTML and XML sitemaps is actually a growing problem - I'm glad Matt has the courage to address this issue.

Finally, that's what I wanted to hear. Thanks!
Quick question though - if they're the same thing, why do both?

That;s pretty bad information they should do a follow up video telling people they do not accept HTML sitemaps any more.
