What you're describing here is called predatory publishing and is not the norm.

No, predatory publishing "is an exploitative academic publishing business model that involves charging publication fees to authors while only superficially checking articles for quality and legitimacy" without real peer review. For context reviewers aren't paid by high impact journals either.
