Honestly, on a pork butt, the rub only does so much and is not
that important. Looks totally fine once pulled apart and I bet your friends and guests were digging it! I have had debates whether a rub does really anything on pork butt's. I know some N. Caroliners who think rubs on whole pigs or a butts is a waste due to the amount of bark and the little absorption.
I’ve played around with a meat injector and it worked good to get spices into the butt, but it broke and the verdict is still out. The injector did a good job getting some red pepper flake infused vinegar into the meat and that did for sure made a positive difference.
Tying the butt is the only thing I would recommend to you that looks like was not done.
