You know, this is actually an interesting question. While it might not be possible to reward page views it might be possible to reward referrals and shares.
Everything happening over steemit.com is processed centrally on their servers. The blockchain runs independently. So if steemit would want to reward anything like that, they would have to pay that out of their own pocket.
Steemit could track page views with Google analytics, and perhaps factor that when they calculate Steem Power...
Then they'd have to trust centralized Google? Not worth it. I mean sure if that is the only possible way but there has to be some better idea.
There are other analytics packages other than Google's. And in steemit's hosting dashboard, there should be a count of pageviews as well. The reason it's easier to use an external analytics package is that they usually filter out all the bots and count only browser views.
Steem is independend from steemit. They have no influence over the blockchain, and steem can keep running even when steemit.com is long gone.
