I can imagine the large scale web scrapers just avoid processing comments entirely, so while they may unzip the bomb it could be they just discard the chunks that are inside of a comment. The same trick could be applied to other elements in the HTML though: semicolons in the style tag, some gigantic constant in inline JS, etc. If the HTML itself contained a gigantic tree of links to other zip bombs that could also have an amplifying effect on the bad scraper.

There is definitively improvements that can be made. The comment part is more about aesthetic as it is not needed actually, you could have just put the zip chunk in a `div`, I guess.
