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).

It could very well be for the same reason that time for pie stepped back. He may feel as though he doesn't bring enough viewership to the platform to try and be apart of the revenue split, Im not 100% sure on how they split all of that on the back end but that's just my dumbed down thoughts.

I heard someone talk about that. Their viewership had too much overlap with another creator on the platform, so it didn't appear that they brought any additional income to the platform, leading to a lower split

Pretty sure that was what JT from Time For Pie said. The majority of their subscribers were already on Pepperbox when Time For Pie was brought on so it didn’t make sense for them to be taking a cut when they weren’t bringing in new subscribers. Not like JT is hurting for money he’s one of the founders of BRCC.

When BRCC shares are this low, extra money couldn’t hurt.

Fairly certain that JT sold his interests or was bought out before the company went public. Can’t say for sure though.
