That's all I still use nowadays, I thought the others fell out of use.

Hmm, honestly the word itself is uncommon now, at least where I live. I wonder if that's related.
To me, by default "welcome" means to a place. "You're welcome to the cookies" sounds archaic or British or something.
You're welcome comes off as passive aggressive. I was forced for years to say you're welcome when I never really meant it, but when I say no problem or no worries I actually mean it so I still use you're welcome but I might as well be saying go fuck yourself
What happened to "You're welcome!" as a response to "Thank You"? It's not even included the one canned answers on an apple watch. Have we as a society abandoned it? I hear “No problem” far more often.
I've used both equally. "Thank you!" when I'm more appreciative about what was gifted/helped, and "No problem" when I just wish to be courteous and acknowledge, or I'm indifferent to, the aid that was given me.
