Default Running a skimmer WET/DRY

Ok I’m trying to get a better understanding of why, wetter skim mate is better than dry.
With a dry skim mate i hear that you are pulling more nutrients out, but i hear that with wet skim mate you are doing the same, but you are also helping out in water changes too.
Dry skim mate the skimmer is dirty more and faster. Wet skim mate you are cleaner skimmer, however you are having to watch your salinity more. Well in a beckett thou you are....
I’m having a nutrient problem with red cynao and trying to skim out a lot of crap like nutrients
Thoughts on it I have also heard that you can actually bring down the Nitrates in the tank by over skimming
