If so, this is a good sign of adjustment on their part. IMHO, they should also have a 30 year old family member running their social media and enable comments on their videos so their marketing team can better engage with viewers (potential residents) who are of a younger (GenX) generation and more digitally savvy.
I really doubt if they want to read all the nasty comments like the ones posted on ND and in TV Facebook groups by disgruntled Villagers. There are also many locals who hate TV and are constantly posting negative comments in their attempt to convince Villagers to move or dissuade new people from moving here. It's pretty easy to determine who fits into those two groups when reading through the comments. While we find it pretty entertaining, I doubt if TV wants to pay someone to do that.
