Autodesk Fusion 360 becomes almost useless for hobbyists

I was struggling to get past this first comment where the poster says:

> I have had various commercial, home-use and free licenses with Autodesk since about 1990.

If you've been using a product for 30 years and never paid for it, it's really hard to complain.

I'm not a big fan of Autodesk for various reasons, but if you are a hobbyist, there are affordable alternatives. If they need the more advanced features Autodesk offers versus competition, you can pay for them.

I can't find that comment for context- wouldn't a commercial license be paid (and home-use might be, too, considering they split it out from "free")?

Sure. But he also mentions free licenses which are indeed "free". He also says in the next line "Are any other free users..." which means he's on a free license now.
