Very true. In mainstream SEO, a misspelled word can result misinterpretation and bad indexing by the search engines. Here, we're not so concerned with attracting outside traffic so much. The goal is attracting internal eyeballs, so trick like what you mentioned can work to a certain extent. Great points.

Thanks for your comment. Are you up to speed on SEO? Would be really interested to hear any ideas for a solution to this problem?
I'm not sure what Steemit uses to check duplicate content. I believe Copyscape has the means to add misspelled words and replace with the usual spelling to help detect trickery. Someone would have to be updating a data file whenever instances were spotted and reported.
Whenever you're publishing web content, and you want to rank for a word like "list", you would have it in your content. Misspelling it as "1ist" would be counterproductive as the google bot won't index you for "list". But that's in the real world I guess.
