According to Wu, the open source Bitcoin browser mempool has been strongly questioned by extremists for displaying Ordinals and Runes data recently. Critics believe that Bitcoin browsers should only display Bitcoin content. Knut Svanholm, an author who has written books on Bitcoin, claimed that it is a shame to label transactions containing inscriptions, runes, and Ordinals because they rely on computers unrelated to Bitcoin to decode. Supporters spontaneously donated to mempool.
