There's many factors, that's why people get confused.
My easy way to explain, is to simply say, HIVE value varies, right? so look at it as you are getting X $HIVE from all the upvotes, but when the 7 days finish, 50% of that hive (in HBD value) is going to be sold for HBD and paid out.
Does this way make you understand why the value varies if constantly showed in HBD+HIVE ?
More Info Example so it makes more sense:
Imagine a post has 10 HBD in upvoted rewards, and its set to pay in 50/50% (HBD/HIVE). An lets say 2 HIVE = 1 HBD to simplify...
Then the calculation is, 10 / 2 (because author only receives half) = 5 HBD´
Then because the post is set to pay 50/50% in HBD/HIVE, and because the 2 HIVE is 1 HBD, the author receives, 2.5 HBD + 2.5 x 2 = 5 HIVE
In conclusion, you get 2.5 HBD + 5 HIVE from author rewards.
Yep, good point... but the need to explain that those can vary would also confuse some.
that those can vary sometimes confuses me still. not even sure how would i go about to explain it :D

Thunk agrees
i was sure dashboard shows something like that. but i was wrong and probably thinking about something else :)
Yep
Hmm this is a good idea
