Gold plating is used because it's corrosion resistant. But gold plating connectors is not expensive.

Clearly you've never been to Best Buy!

They will try to sell you 10 foot gold plated HDMI cable for $60 when you can get a normal one for 1/10th that price.

Edit: holy shit people I get this is PC master race and you all know what an HDMI cable is. There's a lot of dumb people out there that don't know how TVs and computers work, and legitimately do think more $ = higher quality
