Yes, but the problem is that the community is split across so many different UIs, and a UI can only count the views on it's own platform. Someone may be posting from steemit.com, but their primary audience may be on busy.org. Stuff like this prevents a "counter" system from working effectively. The decentralized nature of the blockchain makes it a lot different than counting views on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, etc. where everyone views the content from the same website.
