But this is the point of the algs, to sift through the crap and give you relevant search results.

I don't think the internet has changed that much in the last year or so. If that's true, then it must be alg changes or that content creators have figured out how to beat the algs.

I'm guessing it's the algs, since quoting every single word I want to search for is usually the only way to get reasonable results.

Exactly. Even if the internet is to blame, this is a moving window. Good yesterday doesn't mean good today, and keeping up with that is needed to be considered "good".
