Please reread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868 . It says one year since it received significant attention, not one year except when a massive chunk of features and content is added. Dan explicitly addresses that

I've stuck with Fusion 360. It's good enough and I'm not trying to learn it deeply, I'm just doing occasional one-off designs for myself. Because it's owned by Autodesk, I expect that Autodesk will eventually discon

Fusion 360’s free non-commercial plan is a much softer learning curve than Blender. It doesn’t handle nearly all the situations that Blender can, but if you’re designing products for eventual manufacture, it’s worth trying.

Nope, it's all plagiarized. The site is garbage, as is the site owner. And of course, the upvotes are fake. If you see sciinsider.com, flag it.
