Full on old man mode now, Consumer Cellular seems like a good idea, no apologies, fuck you.  Last year I installed metal filter style gutter covers on my newly installed gutters, $100 Amazon,  saved 900 over gutter installer,  and he only sold full cover style anyway.  I overkilled it by adding corner-stops and sometimes the pine needles build up.  They build up anyway in the front.

Got a giant telescoping pole (Costco) and solid wood heavy duty scrub brush (Amazon) plus plywood scraps and an indescribable understanding of joinery equals this.

Tested, going to need black rubber bungee probably to keep it from twisting off under pressure

Realized tonight that the solution is gutter helmet product on the high gutters, no gutter helmet on the low gutters, done. The water will race from the roof to the ground with the plastic shields but the trade-off of no ladder or worrying about it seems worth it. Glad to brush the pine needles off the lower front and back.
