I'm not sure how that would be a big problem unless you were auto-following back the auto-followers.
Accounts that auto-follow based on keywords sounds like a very quick way to develop a somewhat-focused list. It's a lot more work to do that manually. You can't expect those poor marketers to do all that manual labor. ;)

Focused list? I was discussing someone pregnant stuck in an elevator, I'm hardly buying her a crib or anything. It's just mindless automated spam to annoy the heck out of people just trying to have a little chat.
The only time I find keyword monitoring useful is when you complain about something going wrong with Comcast or some other business and they jump in and help resolve the problem. Got s free burger from Five Guys that way, but it's an exception and not the rule.
The way these auto-follow marketers work all I'd have to do to get 10K followers in a day would be to set up a new account and tweet the whole dictionary and wait for a ton of followers to suddenly appear.

If they were simply following you then I wouldn't see the issue. I think you're describing something different. These guys are searching for keywords and auto-tweeting @ your username, right?
Who has time to care or bother with bogus accounts following you?
