I tried, and I lost doing copy trading.
Doing trading yourself is still a better option than copying other expert investors out there.

Them being expert doesn't mean that they aren't losing money anymore. Like others, they will experience losing trades that might cause them thousands of dollars and if you only have a few hundred bucks used to copy them, you will lose your money unless you added a stop-loss before copying them. I didn't and the one that I copied lost tens of thousands of dollars hence, I lost all of my funds.

Not only copy trading, but trading in general has been a bad experience for me. I will not trade again that's for sure.
