    Former mod here: The reason so many subs employed automod to leave a message on every post is because most users wouldn’t read anything. They wouldn’t read the rules, or recent announcements - the only way to ensure that they even saw information you wanted them to see was to literally have a bot reply to every post shoving it in their face. It is annoying, extremely, but it was really one of the only ways.
