For audio these do make some sense.. for any others like hdmi though..

Nope. There is no data to back that up.

analog audio, yes maybe. But not digital. Digital does not work like that.

You mean analog cables like those shown in the picture?

Only (consumer) digital audio cable i own is a usb headset and apparently gold plated usb is so stupid there not even trying to sell those.

I am not convinced that the meme author didn’t know what they where doing and this is ragebait though.

Gold protects from corrosion it makes equal sense on a 3.5mm caböe and an hdmi connector.
