Install a native Apple Silicon build of FreeTube with this Homebrew Tap.

If you install FreeTube via Homebrew without this tap, you get an Intel-native build that requires Rosetta 2 in order to run on Apple Silicon. (Intel Mac users, see below.)

Updating Apple Silicon build also requires non standard command, see below

Warning: macOS's Gatekeeper has been disabled for this Cask

According to the vendor, the Gatekeeper quarantine attribute breaks the app and needs to be removed. This Cask automatically removes the quarantine attribute. No further action is required.
