What is the difference between a $10 HDMI cable and one that costs $100?

I know that a $100 on could be super long, but that’s not what I’m asking. Why is one 3ft cable $10 and another brand for the same length is $30?

Marketing. It’s a digital signal, there’s no way to get a ‘better quality’ signal in the analog sense, it’s either making it across just fine or there will be errors that are very noticeable if something is going wrong. There’s little to nothing to be gained by more expensive cable or contact materials. Some expensive cables might be more durable than cheaper cables which is a concern I guess but really it’s just marketing.
