I'm going to throw my hat in the ring on guesses.
Somebody was debugging a hard to find problem in the Amazon video client. In an attempt to try to figure out what was causing it they had it print out a message using the subtitle system. They had been looking at it for many hours, not able to correlate a certain piece of media that trigger the error so the humorous chose I hate you as the flight to let them know it just happened.
And somehow that piece of Dev code made it to production.
Nah, seems to be an episode of The Boys with a mute character who uses sign language. So she signs i"I hate you" in a scene and it gets subtitled. But it doesn't use the normal CC code as it's a special case. And the code is buggy so it's really easy for the subtitle to not clear off the screen and since it isn't the normal subtitle/CC system it can't be controlled that way. Fun times!
