Unironically, I totally agree. Commentator is dumb and redundant, commenter is the superior alternative.
Just because you do it for a living, doesn’t mean that it’s a different title; a carpenter doesn’t become a carpentator because it’s a paying job. A pilot doesn’t become a pilotator when they get paid for it.
Commentators don't comment though, they commentate.
Comment ≠ commentate

The destroyer of worlds!
