It's the ad networks fault. And it's 1337x fault for using shitty ad network. But once you get into shadier and less commonly approved business, only options you have for ads are shitty networks that have nearly no ad vetting system. Which means sometimes you get shit like this happening.

North Korea's only Steam user disappeared yesterday, but not to worry: They're back and gaming harder than ever
I would bet this is actually multiple people sharing IP.
Many countries and ISPs that lack IPv4 pool many people under single public IP and then redistribute later to individual. Very rare at ISP level in NA but very common in SEA. Though VPNs also give the same effect. And there's probably no country in earth more lacking in IP assignments than North Korea. The entire country shares measly four of /24 assignments which means roughly 1024 IPs for the entire country including all of infrastructure equipments that need IP assignments.
So likely a pool of people from NK show up under the same IP. They do physically connect through China entirely. But these few IP assignments that's assigned to NK should show up as NK instead of China.
Speaking of VPNs, some VPN companies claim they have NK IP. Never tried myself, but if true people using that VPN and connecting to steam would also show up as a dot there. So they may not even be North Koreans.
Mangajikan used to be THE place. Like supposedly even more traffic than Facebook in Japan. But they very recently got shut down. Like less than a week ago.
You can look for possible future revival. Which they had briefly but dead again.
I don't know any others. But you can search starting from that keyword.

No more uncanny weird shit in latest. And this one is open source.
In the big picture of things, that doesn't matter. As long as sufficient number of people are voting, they too are part of the statistic norm. Every title will have some people voting 10s and 1s. And rating scores are only meaningful as relative values. So a title with avg score of 9 is probably better than a title with avg score of 6. Instead of 9 or 6 is objectively bad or good.
I'd say it's like half meetings. and the other half is prepping for meetings. In office and out of office too, dinner, golf, etc. Small meetings like with the other C positions, mid level mgt, to large meetings like conferences. Pretty much from mid-size company and up, it's all just meetings. And when shit hits the fan, they get to decide on which shit tastes better.
Types of meetings change too. Like if you want more cash, which companies usually do, you're on constant hunt for investment meetings and networking. And generally the entire time, various companies will try to approach your company (or you) to setup a meeting so they can say how wonderfully helpful their company is for your company. Sometimes you agree to those meetings and sometimes you don't. Again, even as a mid sized company, you likely get enough requests for meetings that you literally can't book all of them. So you get more C levels to delegate some of those meetings for you and then you have meetings with your C levels. And as you grow, you try to weed out less important ones. And you do that through... networking.
Everything kinda keeps looping back to networking.
Imagine you're playing CK3 or any grand strategy 4X game. Networking is like allies. You can just get whole bunch of allies to attacc other kingdoms even if you're weak. That's the power of networking. And every click of a button to do something is like a meeting. You want to build a fort? In CK3, click. In IRL, meeting.
