I'm a little confused. Sorry if this has been asked before, if it has please link me to the answer.

How am I earning less on 27 TH's than on 16 or even 13? I assumed that payout is proportional?
The ´Miner Reward´, ´Pool N Avg´, and your ´N Avg´ are different for each payout. Although your hash rate has ramped up, the reward has dropped and the pool hash rate has increased resulting in a smaller payout.
Thanks, I can see that they're lower, but that doesn't tell me why they're lower. How can they go down if my N Avg has doubled.
If diff goes up, pool hash rate goes up, and block reward goes down, then all 3 will each make your reward go down.
1) Diff goes up means each share is worth less i.e. a given hash rate gets a lower reward
2) Pool hash rate goes up means we 'expect' to find more blocks over a period of time and thus your 'expected' reward per block is lower, but total reward is still 'expected' to be the same (more miners to pay per block, but more blocks)
3) Yeah the block was only 12.44363511 reward to miners so vs the previous block of 15.06656796, means you get less.
Edit: to do the math on each one:
1)
Block 505456 diff was 2227847638503.6
Block 508425 diff was 2874674234415.9
(2874674234415.9 - 2227847638503.6) / 2227847638503.6 = 29% higher
2)
(14.378T - 11.159T) / 11.159T = 28.85% more
3)
(15.06656796 - 12.44363511) / 15.06656796 = 17.4% less BTC
