Oh man. My two cents (many, many years of content writing). It's very difficult to write a high quality post in under an hour. In my mind, high quality = somewhat original, well thought out, required some level of research/citations, includes actionable advice, formatted properly, SEO-juiced appropriately, and proofread effectively. Not all blog posts need to be that in depth, however. I've produced a ton of medium quality posts and those can be done in under an hour, sometimes. And they have value. Side note - getting on HN and "you read the thing" aren't markers of high quality.
