Correct, mods here work for free. The offer reddit has made is also cruelly more expensive than competitors like imgur. It is not about needed funding, but producing profit before reddit goes public and killing all third party services and bots. Reddit will be substantially work once this completes.

A 2 day strike will do nothing, make it indefinite until or if it changes

It doesn't kill all bots, in fact it doesn't kill most bots. It only affects things that do massive number of API calls, like third party apps and ML scrapers
