They're actually not redirecting now as traffic has subsided. But as I remember, they added a 301 permanent redirect instead of 302 and I immediately thought that's a bad idea. Probably that's why you're still getting redirected to the stream.

Redirects are usually cached on the browser, so you can just clear the site's cache.
