I wouldn’t call it salty, i think it’s just pride in the quality uploaded.
I would much prefer actual translations than MTL, but at the same time, i would rather read MTL to be able to read the first upload. And sometimes, it could be shitty, can’t get that wrong, but i wouldn’t disparage the other group for having machine translations in this era. MTL has changed a ton since its debut. It’s more efficient with AI, but then again it is a matter of losing autonomy and verifiable text. But thats beside the point, I respect any work done on manga that has quality these days. I post for the publicity, for everyone to see and not the fame. While the panic has died down, it is a very valid thing to avoid the minimal chance of a C&D letter to be sent, better safe than sorry.
