Surveys of sexual activity, marriage, and child birth all wildly disagree with your supposition.

The article seemed to define mating success as having a large pool of willing potential partners to choose from. I'm pretty sure that your options become more limited as your resources shrink.
Also, in the spirit of the article and the comment I was referring to, one could also count marriage as an indicator of low mating success, as it is a commitment which isn't usually part of a Tinder "date".
For kids with rich parents, dating was always easy. And for those in an unlucky economic situation, mating success is still out of reach, despite all the apps.
The only thing that's really easier on those apps is fraud, like using photoshopped photos, AI filters, and made up awards.
