Commentators of title Tuesday

I would like to ask chess.com to use better chess players as commentators for title Tuesday. Yesterday commentator was quite weak, I think she might have better opening knowledge than me but tactical alertness or strategical understanding of her was way weaker. Or she was teaching how to mate with R+K a naked king in titled Tuesday.

This is ridiculous for audience of the titled Tuesday. All players are strong there, before that there were strong commentators like ginger gm and a like. Nowadays commentators are at most CM or NM, this is very weak for the level of the game (yesterday was even weaker, WFM). This motivates us to never watch chess.com official channel, and look at players who stream their matches (which is not that good since they mostly report their own match).

This is chess.com - they are always going to go with the younger/better looking/more hipster commentators over the quality. Not that it's a bad thing. They have their target audience, and other websites have different target audiences.

I understand they have their own business model, but even for that, it makes it much less attractive. Besides that there are enough many girls with IM or GM titles who also stream, they can invite them, they might just cost a bit more, but I think for chess.com it is worth it, since the whole titled Tuesday event is already an advertisement for the site.

I have to add that Kostya Kavutskiy did an amazing job commentating recently. No frills, soft spoken and educational. I hope to see him more often. For those who missed it: https://youtu.be/DU3EUHVLL1Q
