It is shitty and nonsensical to answer "no problem" when someone says "thank you".
No problem is simply the English “de nada.”
It’s not implying a problem could have existed, it’s saying the exact opposite - we don’t feel like we did anything extra for you.
Similarly, the Japanese have a cultural tendency to downplay the gifts they give. The recipient is worth more than the gift. There is no debt incurred. Nothing to be grateful for.
It’s really, no problem.
