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.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

Why do so many people suddenly think it's acceptable to continue to live with their parents into adulthood?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
