Yes but he could have seen it coming, X.⠀ com sounds like a porn site. (or a video game about killing Aliens...)

People have been telling him that since the late 90s early 00s when he was trying to change PayPal’s name to X. He refuses to listen.

Or like Mac OS X, or American History X, etc.

No. Just like porn or a game, everything else is unknown to normal people.

I don't think normal people know any games with X. At least I don't.

Never heard of it and I think so hasn't any of my family and close friends I assume, they would have mentioned it.
