Once again.. coming from a newbie, me... Do you not typically clean revolvers after every time you go shoot like you would a semi-auto?

Some do and some don't. Realistically, with a good quality revolver firing good quality ammunition, there's really no reason that you
have to clean it every time you fire it though many, myself included, do anyway.
However, the afforementioned carbon deposits could potentially be problematic even if the revolver was cleaned after every range session. The amount of carbon buildup is going to depend, among other things, on how much ammunition is shot befor the gun is cleaned. While shooting 50 rounds of .38 Specials is unlikely to cause a noticeable issue, many people shoot 100-200 rounds or more in a single range session and that could become problematic. Also, depending on the level of carbon buildup, it can sometimes be more difficult to remove than you might think.
