The lowest bandwidth signals are not enough to secure reproductive success. It would be enough only in the scenario where the lured (with a nice photo) dating app user is immediately kidnapped when meeting the photo fabricator for the first time (and "prompted," to put it delicately, to reproduce). Even then, there is birth control. The higher bandwidth signals (shared values, etc.) are what is used to determine a suitable match for reproduction, especially in more developed societies. You can see those values occasionally supersede actual romantic compatibility when it is common in some professionally competitive places (less time for dating - Bay Area, New York...) for two people in their 30s to agree to have a child together outside of marriage and with shared custody only because they a) want a child b) have not yet found a suitable romantic partner c) the reproductive "partner" has shared values That, in my opinion, is more likely to change humanity, especially as the above article demonstrates how much harder dating has become for everyone.
