FluxCoder With a paid account, you get access to FHD (when available) quality, the ability to choose your server location and an ad free experience. As far as the site keeping track of your viewing progress, I don't think its something that's specific to paid accounts versus free ones--I've found that with a paid account, if I click on an episode of a series, the progress bar will indicate how much of that episode I've watched, but the site doesn't "remember" which episode you were on, you still have to remember or find the episode on your own. I hope this helps!
