Pick the anchor first. The anchor tells Personyze which recipient signal to feed into the algorithm. Articles they read anchors to the actual articles the recipient finished. Categories they viewed anchors to the topics they browsed (without needing a specific article). General covers everything else — non-personal picks (Most Popular, Most Commented, Recently Published) and recipient-profile picks (Recently Viewed, Reached Goal) that don't need a specific item.
