Work sucks! I wish.

Work sucks... I'm talking that normal 8-5 job that requires you to wake up earlier than you want to, travel some distance, and go do work for somebody else's dream/desire.
Work is seriously the only thing holding me back from doing what I want to do.
What I want to do is just play video games. Sounds crazy, I know. But I would stream the games on Twitch and/or make videos for YouTube. I know a lot of people make money, thousands and even millions of dollars, each year just for playing video games. I could easily do what they are doing.
When I was young, I would play video games all day. (When I wasn't in school of course.) My parents would ask me what I wanted to do for a living, sometimes I'd answer that I wanted to play video games. They always responded with, "you can't make money doing that, you have to find a real job." Well, I have a real job and it sucks. I see people on YouTube and Twitch with thousands and millions of viewers. These channels earn so much money its ridiculous!

Why can't I do that?
What am I doing wrong?
What do I need to do to catch up to them?
The only thing I know I need to do is broadcast more and upload videos on YouTube more often. But that's where I circle back to work taking up all of my time!
When I broadcast on Twitch, my link goes to my followers, Twitter and Facebook. I post my YouTube videos on my website and share on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+
On each of the social networks I have well over 100 followers/friends. Yet, my Twitch stream maybe gets 4 viewers, and my YouTube videos get less than 20. Obviously not all of my followers are watching.
Any support would be appreciated, I'm feeling a bit down. My efforts almost feel wasted, though I know I won't be giving up! Even moral support would be nice =)
