Talk:Complexly

At the end of the introductory paragraph, the article states that "John Green has since stepped down as CEO, giving complete control to his brother Hank, to focus on his writing career" without any reference. However, the company's About Us page{{cite web |last1=Complexly |title=Complexly - A video production company |url=https://complexly.com/about |website=Complexly - A video production company |accessdate=31 July 2020}} says John's role is Chief Executive Officer. I think if there's a source that proves John indeed stepped down from this role it should be added to the article. Otherwise, the sentence should be removed.

:I'm fairly certain this came up in discussion somewhere on an episode of either Dear Hank and John or Vlogbrothers, but have no idea when that was. It's safe to say his writeup on the Complexly page hasn't been updated since the change. Radagast (talk) 19:48, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

::Also, the page has now been updated, titling him as "Founder & Strategic Advisor"--Cerebral726 (talk) 20:05, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

:New wrinkle: It seems John will be interim CEO while Hank undergoes chemotherapy for the next 4-8 months (see [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2tIrfeV46I 2:52 in this video]). Worth mentioning? Radagast (talk) 16:29, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

::They might update the About Us which would make it a bit more definitive. On the other hand, we do have John saying it a few times in both their most recent podcast and your link, which feels pretty solid in terms of sourcing already for this limited scope. I’d be fine either way honestly. It’s possible some news story out there may mention it in a future update too if we wait. Cerebral726 (talk) 22:31, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

::[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LglcIR7USqc A recent vlogbrothers video] confirms this. John is the acting CEO of Complexly and DFTBA Records. Dominicruggiero (talk) 23:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

A user with an IP block here on EN suggested some edits on my Commons user page, I'll copy them below.

I'm here to talk about Complexly. Complexly is quite familiar to me, because I'm a favorite viewer of [https://www.youtube.com/@complexly their] shows such as [https://www.youtube.com/@SciShow SciShow] (and its subchannels [https://www.youtube.com/@SciShowPsych Psych], [https://www.youtube.com/@scishowspace Space], and most importantly, [https://www.youtube.com/@SciShowKids Kids] and its spin-off podcast [https://www.youtube.com/@SciShowTangents Tangents]) and [https://www.youtube.com/@BizarreBeasts Bizarre Beasts], and, I also often watch [https://www.youtube.com/@eons PBS Eons] and Complexly's former show, [https://www.youtube.com/@learnhowtoadult How to Adult] for fun. I even admire Hank Green as a science communicator and brilliant entertainer, as well as other people who hosted the shows I've mentioned here and beyond and made those possible.

Anyway, I'm here to remind some things you have missed while editing the Wikipedia article about Complexly:

1. [https://www.youtube.com/user/theartassignment The Art Assignment] and [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv4-yypZ7srAlzk_MQCRaLQ Ours Poetica] are no longer in production, according to Complexly's website: [https://complexly.com/shows/the-art-assignment/] and [https://complexly.com/shows/ours-poetica/], and the information about them needs to be moved to the "Ceased productions" section. I also want [https://www.youtube.com/@journeytomicro Journey to the Microcosmos] to be on the "Ceased productions" list, because Hank Green, who hosted that show since its inception, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwXhXeVIi0w made an announcement on April 8th, 2024] that the show would be out of production, and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoQ5RXflnuY&t=0s that happened later on Oct 28, 2024] when he announced the end of the show.

2. Gabriel Santos joined the PBS Eons team and has been hosting the Eons's shortform content, according to [https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxVycVo0Tm478mSLv3Nn7heYvEgQMDaJzv Eons's YouTube post]. The YouTube post also mentioned [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMjLwmgipsA Gabriel's debut full-length episode]. I would like you to add Gabriel's name among other hosts on Eons.

3. Anthony Brown, who hosted SciShow Psych and Kids (known as Mister Brown in Kids, since the end of its hiatus in August 2020), bade farewell to SciShow as he, on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujh-dtEvyIw his last Kids episode which is about the formation of lakes], announced that he would be moving to Wisconsin, his home state, I guess. So, I would like you to mention that fact in SciShow Kids subsection.

4. I would like you to add information about [https://complexly.com/shows/lifes-little-lies/ Life’s Little Lies], which is a Complexly show on TikTok hosted by Hank Green and Michelle Barboza-Ramirez (who is also a co-host of PBS Eons). I would also like you to individually mention about [https://complexly.com/shows/crash-course-en-espanol/ Crash Course en Español], which is an extension of Crash Course made for Spanish-speaking audience, and most importantly, [https://www.youtube.com/@studyhall Study Hall], which is a collaboration of Crash Course and the Arizona State University.

5. This is where I'm confused. Healthcare Triage seems like it has no affiliation with Complexly. I don't know about you, but I would like you to think twice about it. If I'm right about it, I would like you to move Healthcare Triage to "Productions no longer affiliated with Complexly" section.
