maybe I'm missing something but isn't ipfs just BitTorrent with extra steps (self.ipfs)

Maybe I'm too dumb and don't understand but it seems to me it's just like that but with end to end encryption and hashing.

I'm all for it but I've just been curious as to what all the hype was about

IPFS is much easier for someone to block and moderate as it isn't designed to be all that censorship resistant.

If you are looking for some "after market" content IPFS isn't what you want. If you are looking for something that could been the future of CDNs then then maybe it is for you.
