It hasn't yet:

  ‘No revision has been approved for this page. View the most 
  recent revision.’

I presume that'll be the first objection during review, if 
bootstrapping is at all a concern (and it should be).

‘mpv <https://foo>’ will even call it for you behind the scenes, 
without the download wait.  Actually the only way to still watch 
such videos on less performant machines.

I also use [0] with uBlock Origin in Icecat to make YouTube itself 
almost usable, but none of these approaches address the privacy 
concerns that FreeTube claims to do.

Kind regards,
