The vast majority of those are simply content-scrape of select Amazon reviews with affiliate links added to monetize the website. Their content is useless (except to the website owner who makes money if you click a link on their page).
Amazon reviews are actually from the users.
Many are, but many are also suspect. Always run through a service like Fakespot.com or ReviewMeta.com to see how trustworthy the reviews are. In particular for a small or niche inexpensive item that has hundreds or thousands of reviews.
