I remember deciding to say “no problem” as a kid instead of “you’re welcome” because I didn’t want to sound entitled.
In the written (typed) world though, which gen z and millennials are the first to really be engrossed in, I suspect part of the change has been less grammatically inclined people refraining to type “you’re welcome” because they are tired of writing “your welcome” and being corrected.
Maybe, from the other side, I also stopped typing “you’re welcome” as a way to normalize other sayings as a way to not have to see as many “your welcomes” on the Internet.
