While I don't disagree with this theory, I wonder why you would think that this is a recent development.

Can I also add in stress and other environmental factors?

Are you basing this on dating app matches? It might be a case of survivor bias

To elaborate, what's possibly happening is that only the assholes of society are the ones having a disproportionate level of exposure/influence on these apps because the good ones cycle out of it quickly enough when they find their viable partners. And then these assholes, who in fact represent a minority of the actual population, end up staining everyone else's opinions by making them think these people are the majority of peoples' behaviours.
