iCloud is primarily a synchronization service, not off-line storage. Anything in iCloud is also on your device.

my voice memos used to sync with my Macbook pro but now they don’t because the i cloud storage is full.

Your memos are not backed up on iCloud, just synced using iCloud. You can transfer memos via AirDrop, email, etc. by sharing in the app

seems like Apple is trying to make us pay for their subscription.

if I remember right before a recent iOS update my voice memos syced even though icloud was full.

please Apple give us that old feature back.

No. If your iCloud space is used, nothing more will sync to iCloud.

as of now seems the only option is paying for more i cloud storage.

syncing information like voice memos across devices should be a free feature.

that can easily be done like before without forcing people to buy icloud storage.

having my voice memos on my macbook pro too isn’t even an icloud thing.

i cloud is supposed to be cloud storage. I shouldn’t need icloud storage to sync data on my device.

how else am i supposed to transfer voice memos onto the macbook pro so i can view them in the app?

See above

as of now i can save them as a file but that is so inconvenient & it doesn’t save the original date etc.
