This TH loot penalty came in last year and is periodically tweaked.
It was tough at the time for those who had higher town halls but it balanced the game and was needed.
There are a couple of things that can help YOU find more loot:
Play at times when more people are likely to be off-line and shields are coming down, I am in the UK so that's one of the reasons I get up at 7am ... so that I can steal the Americans breakfast
Play at a cup level where there is loot - this varies, it used to be VERY low, that's not now the case, it was 1200ish, but now it's 1400 - but it changes and that's half the fun of the game.
Be like the hunter find the loot at a time when it's there and fill your boots, just like I and a lot of other people have ben doing these past few days.
Or you could come on to the forums and complain about not being able to find loot and rage quit, I know which i'd rather do.
good luck and have fun
