I've never heard of that show so I'm speaking in general terms here:
Forgive me from being blunt but I would in no way call a Twitter essay from an Ex-Channel Awesome personality credible citation for this trope. Especially with just how much the entire Change the Channel debacle called into the question the credibility and reputations of almost everyone ever involved with the site.

Yeah, I don’t think it counts for the same reasons tumblr posts don’t count: anyone can post it, including the example-writer.
Yes, in the general sense I agree with the above. But what is the poster is verified to be a big-name person?
Scientia et Libertas | Per Aspera ad Astra Nova
If they're a big name person, then I'd think their citation should likely be available someplace other than Twitter.
Also if it helps we have a forum thread for this kind of situation: The Unfortunate Implications Citation Discussion
thread
This example which cites a Twitter thread was added to Unfortunate Implications:
Is a Twitter thread a reputable source for Unfortunate Implications? I'd imagine not since anyone can just write their own Twitter thread and then use it as a citation.
