The fact we cannot easily see how many views is frustrating. I like what you tried to do here @cryptos, but as you noted the counter does not update very well. There has to be a better workaround. ...not that I can think of any.

It seems to be counting properly, but not displaying the updated image due to soem sort of steemit caching.
Still you can see the real number by manually opening the counter image link, so you can use it as a sort fo hidden counter (include the counter image with 1x1 pixel size) and track views.
I will try it on my next blog. See how it goes. Still a lot of work. Hopefully this is on the feature list for Steemit before it goes gold.
I think it worked...

You should be able to check the stats by directly opening the image of the counter in the brower, it already shows 5 and on the page remains 2 like in here because of the cache. Up to 7 now, so people are counted.
Wondering how often will steemit image cache update... :)
2 years and your counter is still showing 2. lol
