Not me.

http://www.pool.ntp.org/ redirects me to https://www.ntppool.org/en/.

http://pool.ntp.org/ takes me to an "It works!" default Apache 2 page for an Ubuntu installation. As the comment in the issue describes, http://pool.ntp.org/ takes you to a random ntp server.

If you want another example, try google.com using Google's own DNS:

  PS U:\> nslookup - 8.8.8.8
  Default Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
  Address:  8.8.8.8
  
  > google.com
  Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
  Address:  8.8.8.8

            172.217.8.206
  
  > www.google.com
  Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
  Address:  8.8.8.8

            216.239.38.120
  Aliases:  www.google.com
Even if you ultimately end up at the same site through redirects, you're clearly not going to the same site initially.
