I actually understand what the grandparent is talking about with respect to the "hero" to "zero" comment they made, though I might not say that it has fallen all the way to zero.

The reason I understand their comment is because there was a period of time when Google was so cool that people wore Google t-shirts without having ever been affiliated with Google. You could find random college students wearing a Google t-shirt like they would a band t-shirt.
