Yeah, they absolutely do. There are websites where people can arrange to get products on Amazon for free or at a discount in exchange for a review. There's also the even more shady practice of ordering their own product and sending it to addresses they somehow found, so they can write their own review. That happened to me once, a random stupid nothing thing showed up at my office addressed to me, that I didn't order.

Honestly I wish they didn't remove the comments on reviews, their excuse is they supposedly weren't used enough. Which is total BS. I used to enjoy leaving comments on particular reviews. You've probably seen them, people leaving a negative review because they bought the wrong thing. I remember two particular instances that cracked me up. One person negatively reviewed a 2-Wire extension cord, frustrated that it did not have a ground wire. The second was, somebody complained that antenna coax wouldn't connect to their TV.
