Probably to maintain the spontaneity and freshness of the shared moments. It prevents people from re-watching and over-analyzing, keeping it more like real-life interactions. Also, it might encourage users to share more unique and timely content knowing it won't be replayed repeatedly.
The reason could be that Snapchat aims to replicate the real-time, ephemeral nature of communication. By allowing only one view, it makes the stories feel more immediate and special. It also reduces the potential for saved or shared content outside of the app's intended context.
It depends on the platform or source where the story is available. Some might allow only one viewing, while others offer multiple accesses.
Maybe it's a setting or policy of the platform you're using. Some platforms limit views to prevent overuse or to encourage paid subscriptions.

In most cases, it depends on the platform or app where you access the stories. Some might allow multiple views, while others might have restrictions.
Maybe they don't have Snapchat installed or their app is having issues. It could also be that they aren't on your friends list or you accidentally restricted their access.
Maybe it's a setting or rule imposed by the snap app to maintain privacy or keep the content more exclusive.

Yes, but not in a very obvious way. The snap score is affected by multiple factors related to your overall activity on Snapchat. While viewing a story multiple times may add to the score, it's just one small part of the equation. Also, Snapchat is always adjusting its algorithms, so the effect of repeated story views on the score may change over time. It's not like there's a set number of points you get for each additional view. Instead, it's more about your overall engagement with the app as signified by various actions, including viewing stories multiple times.
