The majority of GnuPG users no longer use SKS key servers, due to the
fact of possible attacks on their pub keys. It seems SKS key servers
are nowadays only used for censorship resistant communications.

Todays popular key servers are:

keys.openpgp.org or keys.mailvelope.com, besides Werner Koch's WKD.
