Networking: email or LinkedIn message?

Let’s say I find someone im interested in networking with. Is it better to message them on LinkedIn, or send an email to their work inbox? Kind of torn, because isn’t the whole point of LinkedIn for networking?

Any insight is appreciated. Thank you

Second that ^

Find someone on LinkedIn and then look up the banks email format then email them.
