3 month free trial includes ADS on Apple Music Radio?? Really?

Signed up for a free trial membership before I decide to move my Beats subscription. Listening to a radio station and there was a Taco Bell ad! Really???

Certain stations may have ads on them.

The stations you create on demand shouldn't have commercials with your Apple Music subscription, but any of the live stations like Beats 1 that are being handled by a DJ are actual radio stations, so they can.

Beats1 has no commercials. Other on-demand radio stations should have no commercials with paid membership. Not sure if that includes the 3-month free membership, but it should.

Listen to Apple Music Radio - Apple Support

"You don't need an Apple Music membership to listen to Apple Music Radio. But, if you have an Apple Music membership, you can listen to on-demand music stations with no advertising on one device at a time. And you can skip as many songs as you like."
