Was the OSRS economy affected by the strikes? I'm assuming they didn't disrupt internet access for most Venezuelan citizens but I have not looked into it yet.

I'd say that an OSRS outage would be more likely to measurably affect the Venezuelan economy than the reverse.
I run an OSRS market analysis/flipping site, and have been keeping an eye on the effects.
The short answer is that there hasn't been a ton of movement across the market at large, but since Saturday, bonds have been swinging up towards the all-time high they set last December. Can't say for certain that that movement is tied to VZ though.
My clanmates and I noticed that some of the more popular goldfarming hotspots were much less populated that day. Rev caves, Zalcano, etc. Not sure about impacts for the broader economy though. Maybe FlippingOldSchool will release a video analyzing the economic trends over the course of that week? Would be interesting for sure.
Maybe they were out celebrating.
Any osrs Venezuelan clans you’re looking to contact about this?
Yes, it looks like it definitely was: https://x.com/eslischn/status/1104542595806609408
Unless I'm missing an update, it appears that this post is from 2019?
