What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
My friend asked my crush and he said my crush hates me but not in a rude way. What does that mean?
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
