Nope. As a longtime user of FreeTube, breakages like this is entirely normal. Give it some time and the devs will find a fix.
For what its worth, I usually rely on Invidious when Freetube breaks. So whenever Freetube breaks, try seeing if Invidious works. As a last resort, you can always use mpv + ytdlp.
Same goes for fandoms/communities: You can still like a community despite not interacting with it.
