I have a CS degree, and I still encounter countless algorithmic questions in interviews. I don't think the lack of a degree is much of a factor as far as whether you get asked those questions or not, sad to say, as I'm don't usually keep it too fresh in my head and/or somehow manage to study the wrong things when preparing ahead of the interviews.
Sometimes I just want to yell at these people "Just watch this video. I did that! That's my name in the credits, under 'Lead Programmer'! And here's my iPad, launch this app! Now click credits. See, my name!"
Instead I get asked virtually zero questions about my past work and get a test thrust in my face, or a marker shoved into my hand, or I'm asked to "sit and code this while I stare at you over your shoulder as you try to remember whether it's NSJSONReadingMutableContainers or NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves. But don't you dare make a Google search!." It's frustrating.
