I don’t find it at all annoying to keep NewPipe up to date.
I think you may need to take a look at Obtainium.

No car is fun in those instances. But that is how we spend the majority of our time on the road.
Hence, “fun driving is over”.
There are still fun cars. It’s getting incredibily difficult to have fun driving them.
I have not.
Do they somehow make it fun to be queueing at a busy intersection?
Is driving 70km/h behind a truck somehow a blast if you’re in a Tesla?
If so I’ll make it a priority to try one out ASAP!
Honestly, I lived in Antwerp for a while… I think the transmission is the least of their problems.
Agree that fun driving is essentially over, but I don’t think automatic cars are as common outside North America.
In Europe ~80% of cars have manual transmission, mainly due to the (in the past) better fuel efficiency.
Modern automatic cars have often slightly better fuel efficiency, but they cost quite a bit more to buy and maintain, and very nearly everyone knows how to drive stick, so people usually don’t bother.
Edit: As we stop having fun driving cars, should we finally also say goodbye to race biking, and fun motorcycling, once and for all?
Oh, I can confirm I have met a person in Belgium who could only drive automatic.
The whole “Apple products are great because they control both software and hardware” always made about as much sense to me as someone claiming “this product is secure because we invented our own secret encryption”.
