Just went there and there's a pulsing 'use app' button on the top banner and an 'open in the official app' non-scrolling pop-in taking up the bottom 1/5 or so of the screen. So they're, uh, not gone at all.

Imgur is full of coercive patterns too. On mobile it has a permenant "get app" button hovering over the content and you can't see user profiles or other social interaction stuff. It says you need to install the app to use them, even though they work fine on the desktop website.
