Facebook Account discrimination/ Algorithms or Human?

Hello!
In my Facebook account, the ability to add friends has disappeared. Not for all people, but only for some. To test this version, I logged into a second account. And on the other account, the "Add Friend" buttons appeared for the same people.
My version: So, it turns out that the Facebook system decides for itself who I can send requests to and who I can't (display the "Add Friend" button for me or not). If a certain parameter\filter matches the parameter of a person's profile, then the "Add to friends" button will be inactive for me.
There were no notifications of blocking certain account functions. So, all of this happened secretly and covertly.
I wrote to support, but they did not respond to me
What is the problem?

Hi gerg1975 and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

Your screenshots force people to view pr0n images, try using a less offensive image hosting - and please anonymize your account names, we do not review FB accounts here.

There are several factors at play here.
Firstly, Facebook has a limit of 5000 friends.
It's quite possible that one, or all parties have that limit, or have put their own restrictions on who can send friend requests. Too many requests and they turn into follower requests.
In addition, it also relates to the friends you and they already have.

The algorithm takes into account all the interconnections.
