The experience today is not what made them great in the past. 10 years ago the negatives you list didn't exist.

Perhaps all of these too big to be good utility services- Amazon, Google, Facebook, even Apple should just offer “classic” slimmed down versions of their previous offerings, for a paid subscription in the case of the online services.

How would this help eliminate any of the current issues? Why would giving them money and/or building a slimmed-down version reduce fake reviews, fake articles, ads as search results, et al?

Use the subscription fees to cover up the lack of search result ads, to pay for better policing of fake reviews, moderating, etc.
