The idea behind sharing this link was probably that Trainwreck wanted to, indirectly, show the criticism against him in a lighthearted manner. Moreover, it implied that Tyler was also a silent protector, similar to how Gordon describes Batman in the movie’s very last moment. Sharing this tweet was clearly to convey to others that he doesn’t take anyone’s criticism seriously, especially for his gambling streams.
