Signaling frontier moves. Movement speed depends, as you note, on how rapidly the noisy channel becomes a sexual or survival impediment. There is some research on this in game theory but only rudimentary simulations of populations forming high trust networks using unfakeably costly signals to out compete the free riders since they can internalize the benefits of their network.
Like posting a picture of yourself in a luxury resort. There are now companies offering to fake this for you since it is so commonly used as currency on social media/dating apps.
High trust networks usually use shibboleths of shared vocabulary plus some basic litmus tests.

What sort of unfakeably costly signals?

Any chance you could point me to some keywords/authors/texts on this topic? I’d love to learn more.
I’d chase citations+check connected papers from these two high level reviews:
