How can I click the "ABOUT" button on a YouTube channel page?

I am trying to click the "ABOUT" button on a YouTube channel page. enter image description here

However, Chrome didn't show the "ABOUT" information after I ran the following code.

! pip install selenium
from selenium import webdriver

! pip install beautifulsoup4
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

import time
import requests
import random
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome('D:\chromedrive\chromedriver.exe')
keyword=['"K_Pop TV"']

for kk in keyword:
    driver.get("http://youtube.com")
    #enter keyword
    driver.find_element_by_name("""search_query""").send_keys(kk)
    #search
    driver.find_element_by_id("search-icon-legacy").click()
    time.sleep(2)
    #click the first channel
    driver.find_element_by_css_selector('div#avatar.style-scope.ytd-channel-renderer').click()
    time.sleep(2)
    #click "ABOUT"
    driver.find_element_by_css_selector('tp-yt-paper-tab.style-scope.ytd-c4-tabbed-header-renderer').click()

Chrome paused on the "HOME" of the page of YouTube channel. It didn't keep going to show the "ABOUT". Please help me.

You are using locator that is not unique.
Try this:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('(//div[@class="tab-content style-scope tp-yt-paper-tab"])[last()]').click()

It is unique and not based on text that also can change

try with xpath below :

//div[contains(text(),'About')]

and click it like it below :

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[contains(text(),'About')]").click()
