Found a picture from when I replaced my rear sprocket a few months ago. As you can (hopefully) see, the old sprocket has lost a lot of material compared to the new one. The teeth aren't even symmetrical anymore! As you can guess, there was a lot of chain noise lol.

New chain day is always exciting but not as exciting as new sprocket and chain day!

Interlocking strength in chain have improved quite a lot too.
