Sorry for the late reply, yesterday I just came home from my second holiday of this summer...
In my opinion, this is the best approach, much better then using the "manual" scaling, with the Text=[Measure_Memes_Views:/1000,1] option, on the string meter. This because the AutoScale approach works well if the value of the [Measure_Memes_Views] measure is between 1,000 and 1,000,000, but otherwise it again won't be the best. But an AutoScale option will solve this question, so it worth introducing a Calc measure.
Again, this is just my personal opinion, but this is what I think.

I agree balala!
Adding a Calc measure for each parsed string allows auto-scaling for any number returned...
I meant to say the SectionVariable approach was easier to implement, but not necessarily the best approach.
