The latest loot update started off with an initial loss of loot, because things needed to even out in the system, and everyone had to get used to the higher storage raids they would encounter. Now, many months after the update has been released, the system has shown to be a large success. I am currently a max level 104 town hall 9 farming all level 9 walls, and for every 20-30 searches in the gold two division, I find a 200-300k collector raid. I actually think that I've been finding more of them than before the update was released

Also, I have noticed that there are ALOT more storage raids that give 300-400k on bases a town hall 9 can easily handle. So what do I have to say to the people still whining about the update? Simple.
1) If you are finding "no loot", it's a good indication that you aren't trying hard enough OR you aren't in the right trophy range. Right now, for town hall 7-9, gold divisions are the best spot for finding the highest sum of gold. For even lower town halls, crystal divisions are the best for finding loot. Lastly, crystal league and up are all excellent areas of farming and attacking for town hall 10s.
2) It may be that you are not spending enough time searching for a match. There are times of the day where I'll have to search twice as much as I normally have to, but I eventually find a great base that results in a large profit.
3) Try to have "gold rushes" where you raid for 1-2 hours straight. That way you'll max your total po
ssible profits without having breaks in between with the chance of getting raided.
4) One other way to find more loot is to use the barch army composition, looking for inactive collector bases. You can tell a collector base from a storage base by the animations of the different structures. On a storage base, the storages look full and the mines look empty. Whereas on a collector base, the storages look empty and the mines look full.
5) Now I am not sure about this last point, but it has been speculated that raiding during the nighttime will maximize the amount of bases you find. I have tried this many times, and haven't noticed any difference from raiding during the day and evening like I usually do. (By the way, changing your language will NOT reset the base server you're using. It'll simply use a different chat server)
Ultimately, I hope these points helped. These are my biggest tips to maximizing profit in the game, and maxing your base as fast as possible.
