Cold emailing vs LinkedIn

Advice on here tells us to reach out to people through cold email to their work inboxes after getting their name on LinkedIn. Thing is, I’ve been doing that for years and have never gotten a response…ever. Yet the times I’ve reached out on LinkedIn I have a pretty good conversion rate. So I’m a little confused as to what I’m doing wrong here, or if that’s still the current advice. Thanks
