The question of work is irrelevant. You are not allowed to live in the US on a Visa Waiver Program.
VWP is for 'short and occasional' visits to the US. When they find that you are really living there you will be deported or denied entry, depending on when it happens. They will find out because they will track your entries and exits. Your frequent visits abroad will not help, even if they are to distant countries.
If you want to live in the US you will need an appropriate visa.
