commenter
Leaves written reactions
A commenter is someone who leaves a comment, especially on internet content—articles, videos, social media posts.
The term emerged with online culture: The commenters on that video were brutal.
Unlike commentator, which suggests professional analysis, commenter implies casual participation in public discussion, for better or worse.
