The attacks on the Houthis actually made their blockade more effective. Having the area classified as an active war zone by ship insurance companies raised rates on ships passing through so much that the Houthis are actually causing devastating economical damage even if they don't fire a single missile.
It hurt itself in its confusion
Ansarallah did this consciously as part of their strategy. I remember a spokesperson stating “we will turn the Red Sea into a flaming warzone” as their threat if the bombing and invasion of Gaza didn’t stop.
Ansarallah is inflicting direct damage on ships past the air defense network of the American fleets, but even if they weren’t, just the American fleets being there and launching air defense systems constantly and flaming debris of missiles and drones raining down is sufficient deterrent.
