Do BA get paid for my lounge access?

I am a non-BA OWE. When I fly CE/CW but use the BA T5 F lounge, do BA get paid for each of my visit (rather than 'in bulk arrangement' or just 'reciprocal access given')?

I'm not asking this question out of being nosey.

I do not always go to the lounge every time I fly out of T5, but if BA do indeed get paid that way, I'd like to make sure that I at least walk into the lounge even if it's for the sake of it, as a little show of support that costs me nothing. That way, I get a bit of exercise by walking to T5 F lounge, too.

P.S. In case you're wondering how BA can possibly profit from my lounge access, I'm a relatively cheap passenger - I nibble on lounge food a bit at times, and only drink soft drinks. So if they get paid anything more than about £3-5, I'd think they would make a profit out of me. Many times, I consume nothing other than a bit of electricity to feed my laptop.
