Admittedly the Yonko crews do seem to be different in this regard, but I am sure that each of them has different circumstances regarding their loyalty. There is a difference for instance between Shanks and Whitebeard's methods of leadership (loyalty, Friendship, and family) and Big Mom's (Family and fear) Kaido's (Fear and benefits) and finally Blackbeard (camaraderie for the old crew, benefits and gains for newer members). That being said, Big Mom and Kaido do seem to accept people joining them so long as they don't anger them in some way, it is dangerous for Appo as well. The moment he fails Kaido or is no longer needed, he will become fish food.
