Freedom is the 4th biggest song on iTunes after Formation, Sorry and Hold Up. It obviously has a lot of potential just like all her singles (duh!)
The Hive loves Freedom (it finished 3rd in the Lemonade rate and many consider it as their favorite song)
But with Beyoncé and her team's behavior about singles, what is the point of releasing it? They won't lift a finger and when they do, it's too little and too late.
We aren't laughing at the song, we are laughing at the upcoming management of the single and the fact that some still have expectations about it.
They expect radio to do all the work for them but programmers look at streaming numbers (hers are non existent) and sales (there's nothing that drives sales since they will wait until the public loses interest to upload the only card they have, the video) Based on the data they get, there's nothing that encourages them to keep spinning the track.

Simple. A "flop" single the GP likes is still better then none (Love on Top). Hold Up done great and is well known in the UK. Freedom is already seeing a response on iTunes, forget about charts and just be happy the songs are being exposed to people. Lastly UK radio at least isn't as trash as US, so songs can still make some ground on actual merit of people liking it.
UK iTune:
#63 Listen
#67 Hold Up
#76 Sorry
#115 Formation
#143 Freedom (+18)
