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)

You're welcome to ask things like that of me. This is within the realm of stuff I will gladly do for you.

Yeah.... I'm not gonna put that kinda message out there I don't want to encourage people

I find np a worse message when taken literally. If I even have to write an email, it's at least a little problem. yw allows for a problem you solved for somebody without suggesting that it doesn't come at the expense of other priorities. Both will be interpreted the same way by almost everyone, of course.
