So, I have been holding back support pledges when there wasn't the $1 level listed in the campaign page. Also, I have suggested and seen suggestions from BC members that the project owner should add a support level pledge. Today, I realized after clicking pledge button there is always a $1 support with no reward there regardless if the project owner stated so in the campaign page. Is everyone aware of this and I was just ignorant of the fact?

Yes. KS always has the $1 (actually any amount at least $1) and no reward, at least for now. When creators do put in a support tier (i.e. $5 instead of $1), I always try to back that one, because you'll stand a better chance of getting updates, some sort of trinket. Not sure a backer is obligated to keep you in the loop if the default 'no reward' is selected. Either way your backer number does go up - I've checked that after supporting a 'no support' project.

I have many projects I have backed this way to support and follow. I prefer it when there is a reward tier of $1 to click but will make do with the default through KS otherwise.

It took me a while to realise it was available though. There used to be default wording about backing at $1 or more and I'd think "they don't have a $1 pledge" then I found out how to do it.

I send messages to creators suggesting they add $1 or $5 pledges as I won't share a campaign which doesn't. Too many people don't know how to make a small/no reward pledge if it's not listed. I figure any creator who tells me how to make a pledge but doesn't create a reward level after I've explained why isn't interested in small backers & isn't worth my time. At this point if "backed over 900 Kickstarters" means nothing to them I walk away. I think I've gotten arrogant. :o
