Description

### Description

View count was displayed next to the relative time but the API we used (img.shields.io) has retired showing YouTube stats.

### Steps to reproduce

Effects all cards

Research direction

Start by running the failing tests listed in tests/test_app.py and tests/test_utils.py, then inspect the view-fetching path that calls the retired img.shields.io YouTube stats API. Restore view counts for all cards and make the three reported tests pass without breaking the 26 passing tests.
