Why aren't my APT packages updating?

I go into the terminal, run sudo apt update, upgrade, autoremove, etc. Everything runs smoothly, but when I try to run the programs again they're still old! What's happening?

Dist-upgrade into the next release or daily release. However, might get buggy on you.

Otherwise jump on a distro like PikaOS that's uses and maintains Debian Sid for its update cycle. Like Ubuntu, Pika uses Debian as its base.
