I've just been running some high sec data sites ive in the past 4 hours ive made 25k ... Yes thats just 25 thousand isk ..... since the patch the data sites arent dropping anything ...

The past few days i was making 4/5 isk an hour now ive made 25k in 4 hours ... what the hell is going on?!?!?!?!?!

Same problem, I got about 15m in total from 4 data sites. In one site the databank had about 1150 ISK worth of loot in it, it's simply ridiculous.
I tried talking about it with other people, they dismissed my claims and said my sample size isn't big enough, someone even claimed he got 200m from 2 sites and said I just have bad lucks, i'm glad someone else sees that CCP didn't fix the data sites and maybe even ruined them.

Well i only heard about data sites like a week ago. and i was making really good isk and i mean really good isk roughtly 4-5 an hour. WHen i tell epople no one answeres and dont reply ....

But they've really done something bad as theres no point in me playing this game as i dont want to just do missions i liked scanning and doing high sec data sites :/

But making roughly 500 isk of loot isnt getting me anywhere .... in my started ship id do better!

And whats this about sample size??? I ran them in a heron too so it was nice and quick!

I'm running data sites in nullsec and they're not very good either, most of them gave me 5m for each site, when they usually gave out a lot more.
They basically said that I didn't run enough sites to decide if they were really nerfed or not. To me it looks like the common data sites have worse loot, and some of the rarer sites have an increased chance for better loot.
The other change I did notice other than the worse loot is the lower loot volume each site gives.

I can understand nullsec making WAY more than high sec but i mean i used to make roughly 5 mill an hour easly.

Now iv've made a fu cking 25,000 isk ..... thats all it's a bloody joke. i can understand if somone had passed by and looted/hacked them but they havent ....

Before the patch was good isk making more than i could make when blitzing though missions and now i think id make more from rookie ship doing missions .....

Let's see how the situation looks after a week or two. Exploration is a gambling game, so you have to look at the odds over a longer term than just one evening of play.
