Depending on your configuration, your experience will differ greatly.
As mentioned in another comment I made, Freetube relies heavily on either directly connecting to YouTube’s API or proxying through an Invidious instance, perhaps try a different Invidious instance, but in my case Freetube + Invidious works 9 times out of 10 for me.
For me freetube usually only works about 30% of the time.

Do you have any instances you can suggest?
I can really only recommend what the Invidious developers recommend, unfortunately some instance admins have chosen to disable their public APi to prevent abuse or (in my scenario) have restricted their instance to certain geolocations.
If you have a Canadian IP I don’t mind letting people leech off of my instance, shoot me a DM and I’ll give you my domain.
