  How many gravitational-wave observations from double compact object mergers
have we seen to date? This seemingly simple question surprisingly yields a
somewhat ambiguous answer that depends on the chosen data-analysis pipeline,
detection threshold and other underlying assumptions. To illustrate this we
provide visualizations of the number of existing detections from double compact
object mergers by the end of the third observing run (O3) based on recent
results from the literature. Additionally, we visualize the expected number of
observations from future-generation detectors, highlighting the possibility of
up to millions of detections per year by the time next-generation ground-based
detectors like Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope come online. We present a
publicly available code that highlights the exponential growth in
gravitational-wave observations in the coming decades and the exciting
prospects of gravitational-wave (astro)physics.
