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?

Yes, to me, the nuance is what’s important here.

“You’re welcome” implies you did something good, and you know it. “I am good for doing this for you. You owe me!”

Whereas “no problem” implies it didn’t cause you any trouble. “Doing this for you was not detrimental to my life. You owe me nothing.”

I agree with this hit somehow some older people see it flip-flopped

I really don’t think your welcome is meant to mean you owe me.

You owe me

So by saying you are welcome to their action, people are actually saying the opposite? That you are not welcome to it at all? You’re saying it’s ironic?
