It's kinda interesting that you, a user, had to bring this to our attention. The article linked by OP only focused on the empty spaces left behind by billboards.

Of course art can take the place of billboards, but clearly that's not what this article aims to convey.

That's not the impression I got. Those empty billboards are, from my perspective, preferable to advertisements. The fact that some people took advantage of the space to draw art is a nice bonus, but even without that it's a positive change.
