What happened to "You're welcome!" as a response to "Thank You"? It's not even included in the canned answers on an apple watch. Have we as a society abandoned it? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I hear "No problem" far more often.

Most languages respond something like "it's nothing", de nada. English is a little weird saying "welcome".

Well, in German we say "bitte" or "gern geschehen", which is close to the "welcome". Of course, people can and do also say "kein Problem". I guess in my experience it depends on how I feel about the task and the person I did it for.
