Summary/Abstract: This article examines content produced by the most popular Polish YouTubers specialising in ADHD, which employs the motif of the diagnostic test. As their content follows the structure of a questionnaire, diagnosis becomes not only its subject matter but also its form. A close reading of selected material from three popular channels reveals how these creators use and legitimise the test format. This finding sits within anthropological research on the meanings of diagnosis, as well as in the context of recent “post-social” transformations of digital culture, in which communication among networked communities is increasingly supplanted by algorithmic content selection shaped by behavioural surplus.
