I see this point reiterated time and time again in discussions, it's entirely kept afloat by wishful thinking.
Any effective marketing is large scale, because out of every 10000 people that see something, 100 will check it out, 10 join and maybe 3 will stick around. This is assuming that LSRP content would ever reach this 'large scale' scenario, which it won't.
What would they show?
I'd maybe feel some intrigue to a (rare) GTA SA video on my feed, but it's called a feed because you're being fed slop from it; they couldn't call it a trough as that'd be too obvious.
A majority of people who consume short form content - slop, have awfully short attention spans. They aren't gonna sit through a clip of two guys standing in front of each other stumbling through /me lines, no matter how interesting the RP itself is.
I've actually seen a handful of videos made on LSRP on my instagram reels feed, they had like 3 likes and were made to promote some guy's soundcloud...? Not sure who it is, but their reach tells you enough about the potential social media marketing has for a SAMP RP server. (They were not bad at all, quite scenic actually.)
I recently, on impulse, ordered an air fryer from an ad I saw on this forum. This ad worked on me because I was googling air fryers a few days earlier; I was part of the small niche of people who want to buy an air fryer - marketing relies on finding that target group for your product and poking it until somebody caves in.
This is not something LSRP would find on social media, maybe if we were an Indonesian TDM server it would.
We are, however, already hitting this target group of 'SAMP Heavy RP players' with what the current content creation team pumps out, that's literally the best you can get.
