Not sure how it's happening or how to prevent it but unlisted uploads should preferably not be indexed by Google etc

  • robots.txt with relevant rules on the page of unlisted video
  • require an account to view unlisted videos and redirect anyone not meeting the criteria to the signup page
  • XML sitemap

The first one will be relatively simple, but won't help against aggressive crawlers which don't honor the rules.
The second one requires some redirection setups, but will defend against aggressive crawlers.
The third one is the hardest, but also will help with general SEO immensely.

EDIT: here is the SEO analytics for newtube.app for example.
