Airsofters are creating gas blocks evidently....
All joking aside, how many times do we need to see stories where people have bought cheap crap, and in a case like this saved $15 only to have total aggravation.

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

I bought a complete upper. You don't always know what parts the manufacturer uses. If I had built it myself I would take responsibility for buying cheap parts and live with it. I guess I simply bought a cheap upper that was built with cheap parts. Live and learn. I have contacted them regarding a warranty.
I've seen similar on some purposely altered extreme light profile gas blocks. Almost the entire top half of the block had to be opened up like a big sealed pocket that held pressure somewhat. For a worse case scenario type of test. It would take a pretty bad defect for anything else.
That's a pretty impressive failure. I wouldn't have believed it was even possible, but apparently it is.

Extremely lucky. The barrel is a 7" CM barrel of unknown manufacture at a price of 89.99. BCG has no specs for it at a price of $75.00.

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you,

From TOS ... "buy the shit out of that thing, all the mil spec is just nonsense."
Hehehe...to be fair, it is gun related jewelry...
That aside, I don't know why people expect good results from cheap AR products. The AR market is pretty mature and when you see anything that is being sold particularly cheap from an "unknown" manufacturer, alarms should be going off...at the very least, expect some sort of failure happening sooner or later as a given. Here's a helpful trilemma chart...
