Unless you set your video to public, it shouldn't have an impact in terms of views. Your unlisted videos won’t appear to others on the "Videos" tab of your channel page and shouldn't show up in YouTube's search results unless someone adds your unlisted video to a public playlist.
@TeamYouTube we have a question we’d love to get your insight on! Is there any harm if we upload a video as unlisted before we schedule it to go public? Will it hurt view velocity figures etc?

Put another way. I have two identical videos. One I upload as unlisted and schedule it to go live in one week. Second copy goes live immediately. Which does better for the algorithm?
