Incremental Blight.

If the card would have said:

Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature, two -1/-1 counters on target creature, and three -1/-1 counters on target creature.

Then yes, you could have targetted the same card multiple times, just like Seeds of Strength. But it doesn't say that and the card is quite clear:

Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature, two -1/-1 counters on another target creature, and three -1/-1 counters on a third target creature.

Bolding mine. How clear can it be that you need to target three different creatures?

Like they say at school:

Read first, ask questions later.
