I often see that from crackers, they complain that NK looks stuck in like the 70's and gee I bet that has something to do with the fucking embargo the country's been under since it's inception like you said.
My coworkers know I'm going to Cuba next month and one said it's a shame I'm bringing my GF and said they'd just sit back with mojitos, a cigar, and a prostitute.
There also aren't brands and advertisements everywhere, plus urban areas usually seem sensibly designed. Americans are terrified if they don't know where the closest Taco Bell is.
The only thing that ever makes pictures out of the DPRK look “creepy” is really just that things are often made with materials that look a bit cheap
Which tends to happen when you put a country under a blockade for decades

And at the same time all the Boomers love the old cars in Cuba
The ones who even know that much about Cuba
In my experience, they usually do. Just shit like:
Still virtually no knowledge of Cuba and its history lol

Yeah what the fuck
Have a good trip! That (the actual Cuba trip, not the boomerized version) sounds super cool
seeing the world only through it's Treat Potential
Imagining putting on the boomer glasses lol

Advertising fuck yes that’s what’s missing and I think that’s actually a bigger factor than material quality
Seeing brand logos everywhere is such a part of my daily reality that I didn’t even realize that was what’s missing
Hell, even non-brands have logos! We have logos all over the place!
And these pictures don’t even have that problem that looks like a very normal water park
also, they usually cherry pick photos from when its cloudy, grey, foggy
