Looks like they've removed it. Crazy to think that it was Yoast, one of the most popular SEO plugins for WP. They actually have a really good website for teaching SEO fundamentals as well, all free.
The most egregious part of this was linking the "close" button to a sales page for the premium plugin. That is the kind of low-down dark pattern you only see on pirated sports stream websites.
