It seems that all lvl5 agents' hubs are controlled by pirate corporations mostly. What if I don't want to join this kind of corporations because this playstyle doesn't fit for me? Maybe someone asked yourself same question and has found an answer? What ways to deal with this issues?
As someone who has been running L5s for years I can tell you that player pirates do not affect your ability to run L5s assuming that you are smart about it.
I have run L5s in Caldari/Gallente/Minmattar space (never bothered with Amarr, but I assume the same strat would work).
I have never belonged to the local pirate corp and am often on bad terms with them because I like to make fun of their fail gank/camp/cyno attemps.
1) Fly cheap. If you fly faction ships you are going to get hunted a lot. Fly T1 and most pirates won't bother hunting you.
2) Blitz missions. I fly a 3 domi + Auguror Fleet and complete missions in an average of 3 minutes on grid.
3) Add ECCM to your fit, it won't make you impossible to scan down but it will make it hard enough that you will know before they catch you
4) You better have a MWD and a T2 cloak on every ship that you don't want to loose.
5) Don't be a **** in local, although I often make fun a pirates when they fail camp/cyno.
Overall I complete about 7 missions per hour multiboxing 4 accounts.
Here are the fits that I run

I can give you a rough guess on L5 mission runners.
At any point in time there are 2-5 people running L5s out of each L5 hub.
Lets go with average of 4
There are 10 L5 hubs.
Lets say each of them completes 8 mission per hour.
You are looking at 320 Mission per Hour. 7520 L5s per day.
I bet that is several orders of magnitude below the number of L4s run per day

Just wondering...
Who does these? L5 missions as a theory seem like great sources for isk until you check the LP store for the corps that have them. Hard to imagine any high LP returns that are sustainable.
Just about every thing offered of any value is beaten by uber FW LP.
Unless you are just a thrill seeker, why would you run these missions?
Presumably people run them for the same reason they run any other mission, to make ISK . . .
Navy LP is worth around 800 ISK/LP (down from 1000 ISK/LP a year ago and 1200 ISK/LP the year before that).
L5s are the "end game" for Solo mission runners (and I mean single person, not single account).
You can blitz then in a carrier, Golem, or Domi Fleet.
Rewards work out to ~600 mil/hour which is better than you can do with any other PvE (well wormholes are better but you run out of sites eventually).
If you are smart it is just as safe as high sec, the rewards are just much greater than running L4s or incursions.
