What part of the comment you originally responded to ever mentioned that they were an influencer/intended to profit off of their ADHD? You're fighting ghosts bud. Additionally, you have no way of knowing if these "assholes on social media" are: 1. Lying about their condition 2. Profiting from it and 3. Only doing it for clout. Maybe you're just annoyed by neurodivergent people being visible and having a platform?

Are you really surprised there's a large presence of neurodivergent people in this niche corner of the internet? ADHD (and autism) are mentioned often here because a bunch of people on lemmy are chronically online neurodivergent dorks.

Maybe don't accuse people of faking something and being disrespectful to "those suffering". I have ADHD, my entire life isn't suffering. I also agree that hitting a bowl when your Adderall kicks in is a nice experience. Are the pleasant aspects of my existence invalid because I'm supposed to be suffering all the time in your eyes? Are we not allowed to be proud of the way our mind works and celebrate those aspects of ourselves that we enjoy when those aspects are intertwined with our ADHD? From the bottom of my heart, eat shit and mind your own business
