Talk:Complexly

John Green's role in the company
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 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 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)
 * A recent vlogbrothers video confirms this. John is the acting CEO of Complexly and DFTBA Records. Dominicruggiero (talk) 23:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
