Plenty of loot for me around 1400

Its not just Town Hall 9, its Town Hall 8 and Town Hall 10. You should always max your current Town Hall level before you decide to upgrade to the next Town Hall. I made that mistake when I upgraded to Town Hall 8 from 7 and wasn't even close to having my walls done.

I am TH9 and I'm still loving farming. Try farming around 1300-1400 range, works really well for me. Average 500k per raid.

I'm TH9 and i've not maxed my TH8, but i farm with no problem at 1300-1400 trophy.
sometimes i even think that supercell Must improve the loot penalities,
90 - 110% for only 1 level, 50 - 150% for 2th level
maybe could become:
80 - 120% and 60 - 140%
just a little more fair...

i'm in favor of adding a screen alert like :"be carefull at upgradin the town hall, because u will get some loot penalities!!"
but also i SUGGEST:
Like you cannot upgrade your mortar to lv 6 until you got th8
the same thing should be done to the TH
example:
you cannot upgrade your TH to lv9 until u got cannons at lv9...
(Or something like that)

Once you reach town hall 4, I recommend that you max out (or almost max out) your base so your ready. I used to rush my town halls and Seriously regret it. when i has at town hall 8 I had like level 4 walls and a bit of level 5!! but once i reached TH9 i stopped

Biggest mistake you made was spending half of the gems from your $25 to get the 2/4 mil needed for the town hall. If you cant even do that, you obviously shouldnt upgrade.
To most people: If you can farm up to 4-7 million without gemming and is a mature TH8, dont worry about upgrading. The starting weeks might be tough with the loot penalty but no improved army camps or troops, but after that it becomes fine if you find the right layout and trophy range

I've tried farming with these following trophy levels; 1200-1300, 1300-1400, 1400-1600, nothing is working!!!
LOL, of course 1200-1600 doesnt work, try 1700+ to 2400. And barch, 80k sounds a little costly for a farming army, not to mention spells
