It's not complete bullshit. Corrosion on an HDMI cable will mess it up in interesting ways. I use them way too much, in less than ideal conditions though.

Any corrosion resistant coating will work however, gold is just the most well known. Unfortunately, a lot of Chinese suppliers seem to drop even that, in the name of cost savings.
