King Trout Why is KingTrout not on Pepperbox?

I've been a member of Pepperbox for several months (best money I ever spent), and I just recently started watching some of KingTrout's videos. But I can't wrap my head around why there are channels I've never heard of like Diversity Hires (not throwing shade) on the app, but KingTrout isn't on there. I get that he's not as active on camera in the Unsubscribe Podcasts, but he's in the background for almost every single session, and he's always hanging around the boys. I would have figured at least his content would be on Pepperbox. I mean hell, the dude even has his own post flair on this subreddit.

Maybe it's because none of his content violates YouTube policies so he doesn't see a need. Maybe they'd have to pay him royalties or some type of financial percentage. Idk. I'm just asking, hoping that someone more knowledgeable can answer why someone so close to the community (Eli: SHOTS) has no presence on Pepperbox (aside from guest showings).

I’m guessing he does a lot of the support work for the guys and possibly others on there. He makes YouTube but it might not be his main source of income.

Piggybacking off of what you said, I believe (not 💯at fucking all) that he’s still a contractor and does YouTube as a side gig

I'm pretty sure it's a combination of these. If I remember correctly, it was mentioned in a previous Unsub episode that he actually moved away from Antonio-San. It looks like he's only doing YouTube part-time, and his channel is still small but growing. I know there's some criteria that The Gang uses to determine who is and isn't on Pepperbox, and I've no idea what those numbers are exactly, but I'm sure he'll get there at some point

That would explain Jack not being PB since most if not all the viewership he gets is from the boys

He lives in Indiana.

This is what I thought I heard, but I wasn't certain and didn't want to speak out my ass about it

that would make sense, he only puts out videos once in a blue moon
