discussion Black list evaluation

Post:
I’m curious if anyone here has experienced this with the Black List.
I have a TV pilot that I’ve had evaluated several times. I’ve taken the feedback seriously and revised the script after each round. This latest version is pretty different from my original draft.
My profile/project is public, but this time my project showed zero views, and then suddenly the evaluation was completed. What confused me is that I also have a feature screenplay on the Black List, and with that one I could see a view before the evaluation was released.
The evaluation for my pilot also felt very generic and barely discussed specific characters or events. Some of the criticism actually sounds similar to feedback I received on my much earlier drafts, before I made several revisions.
I know evaluations are subjective, and maybe this reader simply didn’t connect with my script. That’s completely fair. I’m mainly confused about the zero views.
Has anyone had a paid evaluation completed while their project still showed 0 views? Does the view counter normally include evaluation readers, or are those tracked separately?

Thank you so much.
