Gold is non reactive. Gold plating still makes sense for analog cables, but not with digital ones.
With digital, the receiver is able to filter out the noise that a dirty connection might have. It will either work or not and it takes a long time for a moderately well made cable to get dirty enough with regular use to fail.
The meme should have been those 2k diamond hdmi cables or even the monster brand ones.
