Netflix can't manipulate RT. Netflix's rating system has to be integrated with their suggestion system, they can't do that with RT.

Plus, RT is everywhere already. I can't pull up a movie on my cable box without the RT score showing up.

They could co-exist on Netflix.

Have the netflix score and recommendations, then in the other corner have the RT critic and audience score. Give your customers all the necessary information to make an informed decision on what they view.

UNLESS, Netflix manipulates the scores on their original content to make them seem better so more people watch them. But in that case, I guess they could just remove the RT score from those.

I don't know about inflating on their content, but they're manipulating ratings in the hopes of you watching more content overall. An RT score would conflict with the intent of their rating system. They'd be showing you a thumbs up and a splat, and you wouldn't know what to think. (Unless you knew exactly how both rating systems work... Then you'd know that they're telling you, "Most critics would recommend that you NOT see this movie, but it appears that you like shitty movies, so you decide.")
