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

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

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

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

Should Kick Streaming buy TikTok so that TikTok can allow jerks to not get banned but instead promoted due to poor behavior like is the case with Kick already?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

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

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