Registering and parking misspelled names is considered a bad practice?
I have a small portfolio and it contains misspelled names of famous companies.
I noticed some parking services must approve your portfolio prior to letting you open an account with them. So I was wondering if traffic originated from typos is considered "low quality" and if registering domain names based on spelling mistakes is generally considered a bad practice.
Nothing really wrong with it unless your usage intentions are bad. The parking service is free to deny you an account for whatever reason they see fit, but I am sure there are some that couldn’t care less.
One thing, however, is that this is a known issue with spammers, so most services will probably assume that is your intention.

Spammers and other con artists love to register such domain names. They provide them with plenty of potential victims, so I guess you could consider it a bad practice.

Parking services are unlikely to notice typos but the concept you outline seems totally bizarre
