Cheelee

Sharov has been serving as the Founder and CEO of Cheelee since April 2022. Cheelee is a GameFi short video platform where users can watch videos and earn money. The platform aims to provide everyone with the opportunity to monetize their time on social media. ^[3] Sharov mentioned:

For many years, socials have accumulated their audience for the purpose of monetizing it, primarily through advertising. But in the near future, I think, the industry will have to adopt new rules. The primary trend I expect them to take is a shift from the creator economy to the attention economy, which was first proposed by Nobel Prize Winner Herbert A. Simon. The general idea of it is that attention is a valuable resource which people should be paid for devoting. ^[2]
