If you don't know the story, I'll give you the whole thing without a tl;dr.
It all started with the Golden Age of KyoAni, which a man who goes by Yamakan was a part of. He worked on Haruhi, specifically as the choreographer of the famous Hare Hare Yukai dance, a huge idol fan himself.
Due to his successes, he was gifted with the opportunity to direct their next project, Lucky Star. For some reason, 4 episodes in they decided he wasn't cut out to be director and with the statement, "Yamakan is not at the level to be director yet" they fired him.
Later, KyoAni cleaned out half of their staff and began their now shoddy business practices, ending the Golden Age sometime around Hyouka and Nichijou.
This is when Yamakan starts shitposting loudly on Twitter about anime being dead, but how he's come to save us all with his new studio, Ordet. Many of the disenfranchised former KyoAni staff that were trashed followed him there and they began working on the dream project, Fractale. This is the anime that would save all of anime, highly experimental, but with roots in the classics. He went on and on about it on Twitter and Ordet put their souls into it.
The result? 883 total sales.
Ever since then, 1frt has been a unit of measurement for anime sales as a joke.
