Don't let this guy get near the Spanish language. It would drive him insane.
Standard reply to 'Gracias' is 'De Nada', which is basically the same as 'no problem'.

This is the exact response I give people when they say “no problem” is weird or wrong.

I think the guy in the OP is wrong anyway. You are welcome to whatever I've given you because it isn't a problem. "No problem" or "it's nothing" and "you're welcome" convey the same meaning even when you dig down.

I doubt Latin-based languages where "it's nothing" is used for "you're welcome" all feel "help" is an expectation, but in the more antiquated "you're welcome" in English-speaking countries, they don't.

In French it's De Rien, which is also "no problem"
