Well I flyer for my business and we typically put a single flyer in several locations, sticking to billboards or phone poles. Whats really gross is when an ad agency uses a "street team" to carpet bomb every available surface. I also provide a bulletin board for public use in my establishment. I regularly have to remove the posters of people who put up ten or more and cover up other peoples flyers. I also remove the flyers that people put on my front windows, the bathroom mirrors and even tabletops. So really I see this issue as exactly the same as managing a message board. Encourage good content and delete spam or your board becomes a ghetto with a lousy signal to noise ratio. As far as the artists go, whether they are better or worse than the ads is a subjective decision. If anything they are at least creating a dialogue which is worth something.
