Problem here is click is defined as a click action so the engine is thinking you are calling the click of the button. Simple test shows what the browser sees.
<button onclick="console.log(click)">Check</button>
What can you do? Change the name, or even better, use addEventListener to bind the event listener.

Try add onclick to the JavaScript:
<body>
<h1>Hello stranger lets see if you are on the list!!</h1>
<input id="1" value="type here" placeholder="type here">
<button id="btn">Check</button>
<br>
<p id=stuff></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("btn").onclick = function() {
var name = document.getElementById('1').value;
if (name === "tijmen"){
document.getElementById("stuff").innerHTML = "<p>hey you are on the list welcome</p>"
} else {
document.getElementById("stuff").innerHTML = "<p>sorry you are not on the list</p>"
}
}
</script>
</body>
