I read some obscure manga titles and I'd say that the skills and care are still there.

Maybe, but I've seen some nasty stuff. Like instead of cloning a background they just blur it. Or not matching the background bubble color when cleaning the original text. Or removing the mini kanji or outside the bubble, the side comments, flavor text etc., without translating them. There are even some that go out of their way to straight up sensor the manga. I've seen cleavage removed, clothes drawn on, and the most egregious one they just put a black box around a character.

Obscure titles may draw the attention of groups that will treat them right.
